2 – ASSEMBLY AND PRO-OPERATIONAL CHECKS

The only assembly required on this mixer is the installation of the drum tilt handle.

Remove the handle from the bag shipped in the drum and install, referring to parts

list Figure 5, item numbers 7, 18, 20 and 21 for proper assembly.

The following steps should be taken prior to placing the mixer in use:

1. The operator must be familiar with the location and operation of all controls.

2. Check the crankcase oil level on gasoline powered units, and fill the fuel tank

before starting.

3. Check for free rotation of the mixer blade shaft by rotating the drum through

one complete dump-charge-dump cycle. Make sure no foreign objects or

tools are in drum before starting engine/motor.

4. Start engine/motor, slowly engage the drum drive and check for smooth

operation of the mixer blade shaft and drive.

5. Move the clutch lever through several cycles to assure correct clutch

operation.

3 – CONTROLS AND OPERATIONS

1. The mixing paddles feature adjustable rubber wipers and steel backing plates.

Paddles are factory preset for appropriate drum wrap clearance. If adjustment is

required, proceed as follows:

A. Loosen the wiper attaching hardware and move the wiper outward to

maintain contact with the drum but without folding over when in

operation.

B. After adjustment, turn the mixer arms one full turn manually to check

clearance and eliminate the possibility of wiper back plates contacting the

drum.

2. Read through the manual for all operation, adjustment and maintenance

instructions. Be sure all engine/motor and drive system operation instructions are

followed as outlines.

3. All nuts and cap screws should be checked and tightened during the first two (2)

hours of use. Periodic checks should be made thereafter.

CLUTCH CONTROL LEVER

This control is located in front of the mixing drum on the mixer leg. SEE FIGURE 1.

This control engages and disengages the drive to the mixing blades.

TO ENGAGE: Position lever in line with the mixer frame (12 o’clock position). Lever

is held in the engage position by the over-center action of the linkage.

TO DISENGAGE: Push lever down (counter-clock-wise) to the 9 o’clock position.

Lever is spring loaded to hold it in the disengaged position.

TOW POLE ASSEMBLY

The tow pole assembly is located on the front of the mixer and is used for transport only.

For transport, pull the tow pole assembly out, line up the hold and insert the L-shaped pin

through holes.

When operating the mixer, pull the L-shaped pin out of the hole and push tow pole

assembly all the way in. Line up the holes and insert the L-shaped pin through the holes.

SAFTEY CHAINS

For transporting the mixer, slide the tow pole out as far as possible and insert the locking

pin. When operating the mixer, slide the tow pole in and lock it in place.

Make sure drum is locked in position and engine housing is closed and secured.

1. Cross the chains under the tow pole to prevent the tow pole from dropping to the

ground if the mixer comes loose.

2. Pass chain around a frame member or secure bumper iron and hook it back to

itself for strongest attachment. If the chain hook is attached to a frame member or

bumper iron or hole, it may slip off or the hook straightened out if the mixer

comes loose. Attach chains securely.

3. Allow only enough slack in chains to permit proper turning of vehicles. Do not

let chains drag on ground, or to be drawn up too tight. Slack length should hold

tow pole and front leg off the ground with the mixer loose. (Fig. 2)

NOTE: SAFETY CHAIN LENGTH MAY NEED TO BE ALTERED FOR

PROPER CONNECTION TO TOW VEHICLE. REPOSITION HOOKS, DO NOT

CUT CHAIN.

4 – MIXER TRANSPORT

1. Secure drum by engaging drum lock.

2. Secure all moveable parts, including the rear housing.

3. Secure tow pole coupler to vehicle and attach safety chains and hooks. (See

FIGURE 2, Safety Chains).

A. Pintle type couplers require the appropriate tow vehicle coupler retainer.

B. Match ball coupler size exactly with hitch ball.

5 – OPERATING THE MIXER

STARTING THE MIXER

Start the mixer engine/motor. Refer to the engine/motor manual for proper starting

procedures.

Prior to engaging clutch, lift drum latch from between transport lock blocks. Pull drum

to dump position and lower drum latch to horizontal position. Return drum to operating

position with transport lock block resting against drum latch lever. (Note: Rotation of

paddles will hold drum into drum latch lever. SEE CAUTION DECAL ON MIXING

DRUM)

When the engine/motor is warmed up and is running smoothly, move the control lever to

the engaged position.

EXTENSION CORDS FOR ELECTRIC MOTORS

The following size extension cords should be used: length of cord, upt to 100 ft.-14 gauge

wire; up to 200 feet-12 gauge wire; up to 300 feet-10 gauge wire; up to 400 feet-8 gauge

wire.

NOTE: Extension cord must be a 3-wire power cord and 3-wire power plug that is

approved for outdoor use. When connecting the power cord, always connect cord to

motor first and then plug into a grounded receptacle. When disconnecting the

power cord, always unplug the grounded receptacle first.

LOADING THE MIXER

When the mixing blades are rotating, pour the required amount of water into the drum,

then add cement, sand and lime.

The desired mixing speed is 33 RPM

DISCHARGING THE MIXER

Allow the entire mixture to mix for one (1) full minute. DO NOT STOP MIXER FROM

ROTATING. Hold the tilt handle and disengage the drum lock. Dump mortar to the side

by pulling the tilt lever downward.

After the mixture is dumped, return the drum to the operating position and engage drum

lock.

CLEANING

To achieve satisfactory performance from the mixer, it is essential to give the drum

reasonable care. Clean the mixer after each use, before the mortar dries and becomes

hard. Never permit mortar to harden on either the inside or outside of the drum. Do not

pound or dent the drum as this impairs mixing efficiency and can cause spot wear on the

drum surface. Spray the entire unit off after each use.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE FOR MP MIXERS.

ENGINE WON’T START:

1. Check for sufficient fuel.

2. Check oil level (some engines have an oil alert, preventing the engine from starting

when oil level is low)

3. Was engine choked when starting?

4. Is engine flooded?

5. Check spark plug. (Clean and check gap).

6. If engine still won’t start, take to service center.

BELT DRIVEN MODELS:

1. Check condition of belts, replace if necessary.

2. Check for oil or grease on belts as well as for loose belts.

3. Adjust set screw under engine base down until belts are tight.

TRANSMISSION DRIVEN MODELS.

CLUTCH SLIPS:

1. Remove spark plug wire.

2. Remove side cover on transmission.

3. Loosen set screw on clutch and adjust clutch clockwise a couple of notches at a time

until paddles turn and have a firm pressure on the clutch handle.

TRANSMISSION TURNS BUT PADDLE ARMS WON’T:

1. Check if shear bolt on coupler is broken and has fallen out.

HYDRAULIC DRIVEN MODELS.

PADDLE ARMS WON’T TURN:

1. Check if clutch rod has been bent or broken.

2. Check if flow control valve moves in forward position.

IF VALVE DOES NOT GO INTO FORWARD POSTION CHECK THE

FOLLOWING:

1. Check if linkages are free.

2. Remove stem set screw (Fig 1) and put a few drops of oil in stem.

3. Replace set screw but do not overtighten.

PADDLE ARMS STOP WHEN DRUM IS FILLED:

1. Remove cap (Fig 2) and set pressure up by tightening threaded screw with allen

wrench no more than ¼ turn at a time. Valve pressure is set at 1500 psi at factory.

Each ¼ turn will increase the pressure by 250 psi. After each ¼ turn check to see if

paddles turn (CAUTION) maximum pressure of valve is 3000 psi.

REVERSE TOO FAST OR TOO SLOW:

1. Loosen set screw on knob (Fig. 3)

2. Turn knob a small amount at a time clockwise to slow movement and

counterclockwise to speed up movement

6 – OPERATING GUIDELINES

MASONRY CONSTRUCTION GUIDELINES

The strength and durability of brick masonry depends upon the quality of the brick, the

quality of the mortar and the workmanship in laying. The strength also depends upon

adequate bond and the shape of the masonry unit.

Brick quality – Characteristics are hardness and density. Brick for masonry which is

exposed to weather or where strength is desired should have a crushing strength of not

less than 2500 PSI.

Laying and bonding – Brick should be laid in a full bed of mortar and shoved laterally

into place to secure solid bearing, a bed of even thickness, and to fill the vertical joints.

Brick should be thoroughly wet before laying, except in freezing weather. Bricks laid

with the long dimension parallel to the face of the work are called stretches,

perpendicular to the face are called headers. Bats (chalk bricks) should not be used

except where necessary to make corners or to form patterns on the face of the walls.

Walls are bonded or tied together longitudinally by overlapping stretches in successive

courses. Transverse bond is obtained by making every sixth course headers with the

headers themselves overlapping in successive courses in the interior of thick walls.

Mortars – Mortar composition is dependent on the structural use of the masonry unit. It

is also dependent upon grade, weather exposure and climactic condition. Consult you

brick or block supplier, the ACI (American Concrete Institute) Manual of Concrete

Practices or your local building codes for the proper mortar selection for each application

form more information.

7 – LUBRICATION

DRUM SEAL HOUSINGS

Drum seals are provided on each end of the drum where the mixing shaft passes through

to the bearings. It is important to pump grease into the housings through use to retain

seal efficiency. Use enough grease to flush out old grease and carry away any grit. Use

lithium based grade 2 multi-purpose grease. SEE FIGURE 3

MIXING SHAFT BEARINGS

The mixing shaft bearings are permanently factory sealed and lubricated, and should not

require further service.

DRUM SHAFT BEARING HANGERS

Drum bearing hangers are located on each side of the drum, and are equipped with grease

fittings. These bearings should be lubricated once each week with lithium based grade 2

multi-purpose grease. SEE FIGURE 3

ENGINE/MOTOR

Refer to the engine/motor operating instructions for all maintenance and lubrication

instructions and requirements.

WHEEL BEARINGS

Wheel bearings should be packed once a year. Thoroughly clean old lubricant from the

bearings, hub and spindles before repacking. Pack bearings only one-half to two-thirds

full with grease to prevent overheating. Use no. 2 wheel bearing grease.

JACK SHAFT BEARINGS

Pillow block style bearing are used on the drive train counter-shaft. See Drum Seal

Housing, Lubrication Guidelines for more information. See Figure 4 for bearing

locations.

8 – ADJUSTMENT

RUBBER WIPER BLADES

Adjust rubber wipers so they fit snugly against the drum but not to the point that they fold

over when the blades rotate.

ENGINE/MOTOR DRIVE

SEE FIGURE 4.

1. Align pulleys correctly

2. Tighten locking collars in the direction of rotation and tighten setscrews.

3. Adjust tension on the engine belt as follows:

A. Place clutch lever in the engaged (drive) position.

B. Move the engine/motor to tighten the belt until the engine plate is slightly

above the horizontal position (about 1-2 degrees). Tighten engine/motor

securely.

4. Adjust belt fingers so they do not touch the belt when the drive is engaged, but

must allow disengagement of the belt when the drive is disengaged.

5. Adjust bull gear for minimum clearance of 3/16 inch from the pillow block stand

and tighten both setscrews.

9 – STORAGE

For short term storage, clean the mixer and store in a dry place. If the mixer is not to

be used for an extended period of time, service the mixer completely and store in a

dry place.

1. Refer to the engine/motor instructions for storage instructions.

2. Cover exposed metal surfaces with a thin coat of SAE 30 weight engine oil.

3. Lubricate per instructions outlined in the LUBRICATION section.
